Control Structure

- Selection & Decision


Making Decision:
Multiway Selection
If Elif
Nested If

Prepared By Dr Goh Wan Inn


Multi-Way Selection
The if…elif Statement

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc.


Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
The if..elif Statement
• Chain of if statements that test in order
until one is found to be true
• Also models thought processes:
– “If it is raining, take an umbrella,
else, if it is windy, take a hat,
else, take sunglasses”
if..elif format
if condition:
statement1 // or block
elif: (expression)
statement2 // or block
.
. // other else ifs
.
else: (expression)
statementn // or block
Using a Trailing else
• Used with if/elif statement when none of
the expressions are true
• Provides default statement/action
• Used to catch invalid values, other exceptional
situations
• Nested Condition
Nested if Statements
• An if statement that is part of the if or else
part of another if statement
• Can be used to evaluate more than one
condition:
if mark<100:
if mark>90:
grade = 'A+'
print ("Your grade is ",grade)
else:
grade = 'A'
print ("Your grade is ",grade)
Slide 4- 10
Notes on coding nested ifs
• An else matches the nearest if that does not
have an else:

if mark<100:
if mark>90:
grade = 'A+'
print ("Your grade is ",grade)
else:
grade = 'A'
print ("Your grade is ",grade)
else:
print ("Your grade more than 100")
Slide 4- 11
Checking Numeric Ranges
with Logical Operators

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc.


Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Checking Numeric Ranges with
Logical Operators
• Used to test to see if a value falls inside a range:
if grade >= 0 and grade <= 100:
print (“Valid Score”)

• Can also test to see if value falls outside of range:


if grade <= 0 or grade >= 100
print ("Invalid grade“)

• Cannot use mathematical notation:


if 0 <= grade <= 100 //doesn’t work!

Slide 4- 14
• Validating User Input

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc.


Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Validating User Input
• Input validation: inspecting input data to
determine whether it is acceptable
• Bad output will be produced from bad input
• Can perform various tests:
– Range
– Reasonableness
– Valid menu choice
– Divide by zero

Slide 4- 16
• Summaries Decision and Selection
– Example using Python language

Decision Structure - IF
Pattern 1

condition
This must be a True if condition:

True statement

statement False
Example 1: Printing a number only if it is a negative

n<0
if n<0:

True
print (“n is “,n)

print False
n
Decision Structure – IF / ELSE
Pattern 2

if condition:

statement_1
condition True statment_1

else:
False
statement_2

statment_2
Decision Structure – If/Elif/Else
Pattern 3 if condition_1:

statement_1

condition_1 True statment_1


elif condition_2:

False
statement_2

condition_2 True statment_2

elif condition_n:

condition_n True statment_n statement_n

False else:

statment_m
statement_m
Tutorial 1
Draw a flow chart and write a
program to determine the grade of
user marks.

Slide 4- 23
Tutorial 2

based on selection from user.
